Against the Odds: The Book of Vile Darknessīuilding around The Book of Vile Darkness was pretty interesting. How good is The Book of Vile Darkness in rotated Standard? How easy is it to assemble Vecna? Let's get to the video and find out in today's Against the Odds then, we'll talk more about the deck!Ī quick reminder: if you haven't already, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel. As such, today, we're heading to Standard 2022 (which was the winner of another poll about which format we should play, crushing normal Standard with nearly 63% of the vote, compared to normal Standard's 22%) to see if we can assemble Vecna! If we can get The Book of Vile Darkness, Eye of Vecna, and Hand of Vecna on the battlefield at the same time, we can exile them all to make an 8/8 indestructible Zombie God named Vecna, which makes Zombies, draws us cards, and gets absolutely huge in combat! For Vecna specifically, Standard 2022 seems like the perfect choice of format because, in normal unrotated Standard, Brazen Borrower is basically a hard counter to spending three cards (and a lot of time and effort) to make Vecna since Brazen Borrower can bounce it away, even though Vecna's indestructible. Rather than playing the same-ish deck twice in a row, I decided the best thing to do would be to crown the runner-up- The Book of Vile Darkness-as the winner. Technically, The Deck of Many Things won, although after trying to build around the artifact, I realized that the deck would look a lot like the Dice Twin deck we played last week, with a few more copies of The Deck of Many Things thrown in. ![]() Last week, we had our first Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Against the Odds poll, and we had a bit of weirdness. Welcome to episode 298 of Against the Odds.
